I hide my pens from the rest of my family like a miser, and they usually end up in the front pocket of my handbag…perfectly understandable behaviour…I like to have at least 5 or 6 on the go, you never know!

There is nothing wrong with you! I wish I had ANY pen in my purse. The purse is a place to put mulitiple pens because a) you always need one for something and b) people like me around you need to borrow them!

You have a lot of pens. Do you have a notepad or index card to write on? What good is one without the other? I sometimes write things in the dust on my dashboard of the car but that only works for a few weeks. Notepad and pens, wallet, knife, sometimes some Altoids..that’s what’s in my pockets. Ten pens? Maybe in my backpack but never in my pockets.

I don’t always have paper, Laurie, but there’s always the back of a hand.

Auntie, I never got the purse thing until a few years ago. I kind of like having some important stuff with me all the time, though the wallet often comes out with me and the rest of the purse stays in the car.
